So I found this on someone's YouTube video whilst I was looking for a nice Pulmonary Embolism video. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it's just depressing that this kind of thing goes on; naturopathy is pretty much one of the worse kinds of bunkum but seeing someone promoting it and denouncing actual medications that work to prevent death? It just seems wrong.
I always figured that the alt med users were like atheists in foxholes when they became seriously unwell. You bad-mouth medicine whilst it can't cure your muscle aches/ lethargy/ "bloated feeling", but when you get diagnosed with cancer or have an MI you're all about the "western medicine". Guess I was wrong. Sadly. Apparently you can get a DVT and think that "blood cleansing" is the way to go.
Oh GOD that is so sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about alternative medicine and therapies for simple stuff, and as an adjunct to western medicine. I actually just bought an herbal immune tonic and allergy tonic. I'm loving my Reiki class and practice. But for fuck's sake when you have a serious medical condition, treat it properly!
I is possible to be "nuts and berries" as my friend calls it and to practice western medicine. I'm an example. Just use your brain and be safe!
